A Trip To Bangalore – Through The Eyes Of A Foodie

Bangalore, one of the most developed cities of our country, yet has been always underrated in terms of food. A few months ago, when I traveled to Bangalore, I had never thought that my visit would turn into a food trip. Along with South Indian delicacies, Bangalore has plenty of options to offer, be it fusion food or non-vegetarian dishes.

Believe us, every dish left us to crave for more. Finish your meal with its patented pulpy Grape Juice which I bet you will never find anywhere else in the country.
